Former Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson thinks quarterback Mark Sanchez is close to losing his job based on what he’s hearing from the Jets locker room.

“Well (Sanchez’s) almost at the end of his rope,” Tomlinson said on NFL Network on Sunday. “Talking to guys in this locker room, they’re starting not to trust Sanchez as a football player. Turning the football over, inconsistent play.”

“And here’s the thing,” he said. “They have to get better play from the quarterback position. Rex Ryan has said it over and over again, but I think they’re going to give Sanchez two or three more starts to try to turn this team around, and then they’re going to go with Tim Tebow.”
